debris and drawers piled up against this trash. >> the road had nowhere to go over the top of the road and the volume was so heavy it eroded the road away and you can see the result. >> reporter: jack has lived down the street since 1949 and remembers flooding in 1957. >> water went in the houses and garages, everywhere. >> reporter: the city manager says in 1997 they saw flooding again and put in the trash racks to solve the problem. now they will consider building a bigger one or a bigger culvert. first they have to get through the winter. >> we'll put a temporary storm drain in while we develop a permanent fix. >> reporter: this sinkhole is 80 feet long, 40 feet wide, 15 feat deep. a gas line two water lines and a sewer line run under the road. the sewer line is diverted temporarily above ground and a handful of customers is getting water through the hoses. the utilities will be fully

restored fairly soon. the city manager says they need dry weather to fix the road. >> probably install that in late spring or summer so a bottom line is that there's going to be a hole in the ground here for a long time. and mountain view drive is degree to be closed. >> reporter: now, the folks on the other side of this road aren't cut off from civilization but have to detour a block and a half. it's inconvenient and will last quite some time. ann notarangelo, cbs 5. in the santa cruz mountains a whole section of hillside simply vanished taking the road with it. vine hill road in scotts valley remains closed in both directions near the highway 17 summit. cruise don't know how long it will take to fix that and reopen it to traffic. >> communities across the bay area are still dealing with downed trees, power problems and muddy roads. hundreds of homeowners also had their hands full are leaky

roofs. local roofers say the calls have been pouring in. >> we got so many calls that right now everybody is probably waiting just for the appointment to see what's needed to be done on the roof. an average of a week and a half. >> that's just the estimate. many companies are already backed up about six weeks for repairs. and it wasn't just the rain that caused problems. strong wins knocked down power lanes all across the bay area. leaving hundreds of thousands without power. pg&e crews worked through the night restoring power to 99% of the customers affected. and they are still working. right now, more than 2700 are still without power. and this weekend storm flooded a marin county school. classes at white hill middle school in fairfax were canceled today while crews cleared rainwater and mud from classrooms, offices and the library. no word on whether classes will resume tomorrow. and there was a pothole problem in pittsburg. it flattened dozens of tires on highway 4 before crews finally

>> i miss him so much. >> reporter: the murder is part of an overall increase in crime in the area. >> one homicide is too many. 43 is high. >> reporter: san jose mayor chuck reed says he doesn't know why the murder rate is up this year tying a 20 year high. >> we need to aggressively respond and our department does a great job of that. one of the best clearance rates of any police department in the country. and we'll bring the rate down again. >> reporter: he denied allegations from the police union that the rise in crime is as a result of pension reform measures pushed by the mayor. union officers say cutbacks, layoffs and the dismantling of the violent crimes enforcement team means officers are moving from call to call on shifts and cut down on pro-active policing. stops are down 100,000 since pension reform took effect. >> we don't contact the gang members, hunt down the crews that are breaking into houses. we don't have a gang unit.

they used to do that full time. we don't have the other pro- active units that used to do that. a big part of our success as a city keeping crime low historically has been productivity. we are not a productive apartment. we are reactive. >> reporter: 43 murders here in san jose. still 10 murders shy of the most recent record in san jose set in 1991 with 53. in san jose, len ramirez, cbs 5 eyewitness news. a highway patrol car flipped over in livermore during a chase that reached 100 miles an hour. it started about 3:30 in the morning. two highway patrol units tried to pull over a driver for speeding on eastbound 580 near altamont pass road. one squad car swerved to avoid a big rig. it flipped causing minor injuries to the troopers. the second highway patrol unit eventually pulled over the speeding car and arrested the driver and passenger. the people have spoken and muni is changing its plans for the central subway expanding it to north beach. instead of the line ending in

san francisco's chinatown, crews will extend the tunnel all the way to columbus avenue and powell street. cbs 5 political insider phil matier shows us there's still a lot of work that needs to be done to make that a reality. >> as we look at the future of the city of san francisco, i think it would make all the sense in the world. >> reporter: that was muni chief ed reiskin explaining why he is now proposing to extend the $1.6 billion central subway from chinatown to this abandoned theater in north beach. >> it would be great for north beach. it's an important neighborhood for the city. it would be great for the city. >> reporter: it would also be good politics. you see, the subway was going to stop here in chinatown but to get all the equipment in and out to build it, they would have to keep boring on down the street to north beach and pull all the machinery out by digging a big pit here at this intersection. >> it's going to disrupt the whole neighborhood and damage businesses. >> reporter: so the feeling was, chinatown gets the subway

station and north beach gets the shaft. >> i've heard that phrase. i think they raise a very legitimate point. >> reporter: those concerns included threatened lawsuits and a lot of heat at city hall. but by giving north beach a piece of the subway deal, folks are at least taking a second look at the idea. >> they are proposing 1500 people per hour to be dropped off into the neighborhood. why wouldn't it make sentence. >> depends how they put it together. >> reporter: deals like this don't come cheap a north beach stop could cost the project $500 million to $1 billion extra and at this point, no one is sure where the money will come from. so the squeaky wheel is getting the grease. >> we're being responsible and responsive public servants just as you would like us to be. >> reporter: whatever you want to call it, it appears that north beach is now on the subway path, as well. and whether it is by hook or by crook, or just by coincidence, it looks like they may be in for a piece of the ride and by the way, once they get it here, they are

already thinking about maybe extending it all the way to fisherman's wharf. in san francisco, phil matier, cbs 5. trees came crashing down during the weekend storms but not every fallen tree is treated the same when it comes to your insurance. the tricky details you need to know to find out if you're covered. royal baby fever. the speculation about kate middleton's morning sickness and why it has some people talking twins. >> brain damage from concussions. it doesn't just affect professional athletes. the new information out today that shows how high school football players may be at risk.

tackle football for younger children, manley says not so fast. >> i think it would be a rush to judgment to say stop kids from playing collision sports. we need to make sure that coaches are well trained, that kids are really instructed on how to have heads up play and really hit with the shoulders and not with the head. so i don't think it's time to bury football. >> reporter: it's in the just football. concussion happens in all sports. saint ignatius high school in san francisco has just started monitoring all boys and girls playing soccer, lacrosse and football. they are tested before the season starts and retested anytime there's an incident. the results help determine when it's safe to return to play. >> any contact sport. >> reporter: this can also happen if you fall off your roof cleaning the gutters fall off a ladder, riding your bicycle. protect your head. >> thank you. if a tree topples in a storm, who pays? it depends where it lands. tricky to determine whether

you or your insurance company will pay for the clean-up. >> then spree's pregnant. kate middleton is expecting a royal heir. why it's sparking talk of royal twins. ,,,,,,

the white house is dismissing a gop counter offer in the latest round of "fiscal cliff" negotiations. the republican proposal includes cutting $900 billion from medicare and reforming social security. it would also raise $800 billion in tax reforms. but the white house says the offer still favors cutting taxes for the wealthy. >> us this far, republican leaders have been adamant that they don't believe rates ought to go up on the top 2% of wealthiest americans. the american people overwhelmingly disagree. >> if the president and republicans can't come to a compromise, everyone's taxes will go up january 1. government spending will be slashed. the dow lost 60. the nasdaq was down 8, s&p down 7. the storms that blew through the bay area brought down many trees and that's meant a hard lesson for

homeowners who were cleaning up today. cbs 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts explains your insurance doesn't always cover fallen trees. julie. >> reporter: something many are likely learning following this weekend's storm. we received photos from across the bay area of downed trees on homes and cars, and they provide a clear example of what's covered and what's not. this one from san mateo is a good example of what's covered. homeowners insurance will pay for tree damage to your home, its contents and other structures on the property. whether the tree is on your property or your neighbor's. but when it comes to paying for tree removal, in cases like this you might be on your own. if a fallen tree doesn't damage your home, insurance will generally only pay to remove it if it's blocking a driveway. and insurance advocates warn depending on your deductible it may not be worth it to file a claim. >> when you file a claim you're looking at does it meet my deductible? let's say your deduct is $1,000 and you have $1,200 worth of damage.

are you going to file a claim for $200? probably not. >> but he points out if the tree falls from your neighbor's property their insurance may cover you deductible. your car damage is covered under auto insurance. what about the tree? a standard policy generally replaces a tree if it's damaged by fire and vandalism but most not from water or wind. if you have a consumer question, call us at 1-888-5- helps-u. >> a lot of trees. a lot of problems. all right, julie. well, first dry day the past few days, full dry day. people were kind every recovering but not for long. >> a lot of tree companies around my neighborhood. we had wind gusts over the weekend. we had wind, too, up to 60- mile-per-hour wind gusts, branches down in my yard, likely yours, as well. we are cleaning up now and dry today.

you're just going to get plain old rainfall. that's it. on-and-off rain throughout the day. flooding not a concern. this is the long- range outlook. the entire west coast from oregon to mexico is forecast to be drier than normal so you want some dry weather clear things out? after wednesday we look dry for a while. tomorrow tuesday highs in the low 60s. oakland 62. santa clara 63. los altos 64. wet tomorrow evening through the day on wednesday. after that, it's not going to be warm or perfectly sunny but it's certainly going to be dry. >> but the problem with garden variety rain my garden is already flooded. >> you walk in your yard, smush, smush, smush, you ruin a pair of shoes out there

realtor. >> what the consumer is doing at the top level, the "fiscal cliff" isn't an issue for them. >> reporter: a potential change in capital gains tax coming up? maybe that was the driving force for the sale this time, or not. the rich may be like us. but they have enough money not to care about such things. mike sugerman, cbs 5. ,,,,,,,,,,,,
